I'm trying to set up DNN Framework on my WinXP Prof. SP2 maschine, but facing this problem as many of begninners.
Here are the stpeps I have done so far:
1. Created a new application by using DotNetNuke_4.0.3_StarterKit.vsi
2. Configured ISS. Created a new virtual directory pointing to my created app, created in sptep 1
3. Configured SQLExpress DB as described here
LinkIf I try to install the app (CTRL+F5) from within Visual Web Developer.
My web.config section for connection and app looks the following:
<connectionStrings>
<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005
<add
name="SiteSqlServer"
connectionString="Server=ARTURO\SQLEXPRESS;Database=DotNetNuke;uid=artur_dnn;pwd=password;"providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
-->
</connectionStrings>
<appSettings>
<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;" />
<add key="InstallTemplate" value="DotNetNuke.install.config" />
<add key="AutoUpgrade" value="true" />
<add key="InstallMemberRole" value="true" />
<add key="ShowMissingKeys" value="false" />
<add key="EnableWebFarmSupport" value="false" />
<add key="EnableCachePersistence" value="false" />
<add key="InstallationDate" value="5/25/2006" />
</appSettings>
I get the following errors displayed in the browser.
